Refurbished Mac: the Good Plan to Buy Cheaper!
It is possible to buy Apple, iPad, MacBook, MacBook Pro products at really cheaper prices.
If you are looking for a Mac but don't want to pay the high price, try the refurbished one!
It happens very regularly that MacBooks, iPads and Apple Mini are returned to Apple.
They may have been used briefly or their packaging was opened but the buyer decided to return it either because they wanted to change models or the product was defective.
Apple will repair the product if necessary, repackage it in new packaging, and resell it.
This is not the occasion. These products are sold as new with one year warranty, between 15% and 30% less than their retail price in store.
At the start of the school year, I needed a computer that was a little more powerful than my previous machine.
Swearing by Mac, so I decided to give it a go the reconditioned experience which turned out very positive: 200 € on my MacBook Pro for me.
What's this ?
The Apple refurbished devices are in fact Ipad, Iphone, MacBook and others accessories, having already served, who are resold by Apple. Be careful, this is not the pure second-hand market.
Indeed the brand of the "bitten apple" resells its like new products.
These are only devices who have been overhauled and refurbished by the care of the brand.
It is, for example, a computer placed on display in an Apple store or at the FNAC that will end up on your desk. After, of course, having been tested and approved by the brand.
The products are from elsewhere guaranteed for one year.
How to buy a refurbished product?
All you have to do is go to the brand's commercial site in the reconditioned section and make your choice.
Remember, these are used products! sometimes it takes know how to wait that the product we want is available.
This only happens on the Apple website.
My little extra thing to buy Apple while saving money: take advantage of anyfriends or family in the United States.
Indeed, the prices are often there much more interesting, for new as for refurbished.
Savings made
You will achieve savings in the order of 10% to 20% by purchasing reconditioned equipment compared to new.
Or around € 110 on a Mac mini and up to € 230 on a 2.9 GHz dual-core i7 Macbook Pro, not to go into details!
On such sums, here are significant savings!
